Residents of the community in Orumba North LGA of the state have called on the state governor, Chief Willie Obiano and the state commissioner of police , to wade into the unceremoniously citing brothel close to the palace of His Royal Highness Igwe C.O Okeke who is percieved as a respected traditional ruler that commands greater influence in the community.
He sees the location of the hotel, which shares a perimeter fence with his palace, as desecration of the community’s traditional institution and an affront to his person.
Igwe Okeke alleged that the owner of the hotel deceived him by telling him the building was meant for students’ hostel only for him to use it as a brothel.
He said: “How proper is it for the palace of a traditional ruler to be surrounded at all times and invaded by sights and acts of crime and immorality, acts that are incompatible with our traditional ethos.
“My opposition and that of Amaokpala people hinge on the fact it disrespects and mocks the traditional institution of Amaokpala.”
Ashiwaju.org gathered that some hate speeches led to the burning of the so called brothel and it was like inside a bush so to speak.
Meta Meta Chukwudi Nwankwo who owns the Guest house said it was jealousy and pettiness that is driving the war against him and his property wondering if his Guest house is the only Guest house in Amaopkala or the oldest. He said youths were engaged to burn down his property and they did.
